Throughout my brother's treatment an old saying kept coming to mind."Work is love made visible". Sometimes to relieve people of drudgery, housework, lawns to be mowed - whatever - is all you can do, but it is an enormous load to relieve people of at such a time. I agree with Wendy - whatever you do will be right.
